Shazam Enhances Wear OS App with Standalone Song Identification
In a delightful turn for music enthusiasts sporting a Wear OS smartwatch, the Shazam app has undergone a significant transformation. The latest update has endowed the app with newfound independence, enabling it to identify tunes without the assistance of its smartphone counterpart.
Previously tethered to the phone app, Shazam for Wear OS now boasts the ability to recognize music in a solo performance. This means that even without the app installed on an Android phone, users can discover what song is playing directly from their wrist.
Moreover, the update has considered scenarios where internet connectivity is a luxury. In such instances, Shazam on Wear OS will now diligently record the song in question and patiently wait to perform a match once it reunites with an internet connection.
Not only has Shazam become more autonomous, but it has also introduced real-time syncing across devices, provided users are logged in. This feature ensures a seamless experience, although it’s recommended to initiate the smartphone app first if not utilizing the Google Account option, to guarantee smooth operations.
Shazam’s latest update, version 14.18, has been widely distributed through the Google Play Store. This enhancement serves as a reminder that, despite Shazam’s affiliation with Apple, the company continues to nurture and evolve its application for diverse platforms.
